astral meanders 1-7 December 2010

In General: On Thursday 2 December Mars sextiles Neptune. The Sun and Mercury also sextile Neptune later this December from the same place in Sagittarius and they will all square Uranus from the same degree too. This intense concentration of energy sets the tone for December. It’s a time for sharp and heightened awareness, but it can also be a time for extreme religious or philosophical opinions. On December 6th the New Moon is in Sagittarius. At the same time the Moon is conjunct the Sun. Sagittarius is all about deeper spiritual journeying and broadening our inner horizons. It’s an important time to be open to new and inspirational ideas. Relationships can be surprising in the nicest possible way. A Sagittarian New Moon can bring heightened energies for whatever is taking your attention. It is also a time to contemplate or begin a new adventure, to discover your true inspiration, or gain a more expansive perspective on life. Mercury conjunct Pluto also at this time means intense thoughts and profound insights. If your birthday falls this week then the year ahead will offer much in the way of personal understanding. On the world scene we might see some religious mania or volatile reactions against apparent curtailments of freedom, this is more about December as a whole month though and this first week might just give us the rumblings. Locally watch out for arguments, it’s a no win exercise.

Aries
March 21- April 20
You are feeling energetic, adventurous and open minded! All of this augers well for career possibilities. Don’t despair at minor mishaps or delays because the fruit of your labours will be there for you to harvest in the end! Pay attention to health issues and get your fitness program back on track!

Taurus
April 21-May 21
You are at the start of what will prove to be a great month overall, for you guys. It’s a kind of rebirth, with work, romance and friends all have something positive to offer you. The areas of issue and any differences of opinion you may have had trouble with in November will iron themselves out now.

Gemini
May 22-June 21
The suggestion is for caution early this week and then all systems go after the new Moon! Then things get very social and at times challenging! Being flexible, which is generally easy for you, is the key this week and for much of December! Pay attention to the budget and be prepared to do a shuffle here.

Cancer
June 22- July 23
This is a great week for taking a little me time and getting away from it all! After the 12th it’s all very busy so try to make the most of this proffered space! Networking and social interactions are favourable now and are likely to pay off later this month. Your personal relationships may need some extra attention.

Leo
July 24- August 23
It’s a socially active phase for you guys and mostly a very enjoyable one. There are some more responsibilities heading your way though so use this week to appreciate the moment! Family interactions are getting better and you should feel more on track with your life then you have for some time!

Virgo
August 24- September 23
It’s time to practice your meditation and relaxation techniques and prepare to take all of the unexpected and unusual in your stride. Finances are looking good and they could even get better. If there is a plan or idea that needs your action, then act now as after the 10th it will be hard to launch anything new.

Libra
September 24- October 23
This is the beginning of a positive phase for you guys and plans and ideas that have been on hold can now get a go ahead! Family and things close to home are prominent and your main focus may well be more inwardly oriented. Try to get shopping and anything important finalised this week.

Scorpio
October 24-November 22
Love is all around you this week, not just the romantic kind either! It’s a week when everyone just wants to tell you how much they appreciate you! Lap it up! In relationships there is greater clarity and the issues that have been hovering for awhile now should be resolved. Just remember to be honest in your communications.

Sagittarius
November 23- December 21
Early this week you need to be prepared for others to relinquish on their promises, try to avoid gossip and keep opinions to yourself. The New Moon turns things around however and the flow is much more in your favour again! Use the new Moon to hone goals, de-clutter the budget and get clear about what it is you are striving for.

Capricorn
December 22- January20
The week begins slowly but picks up pace fast! Others hang onto your every word and want to please you now, so choose those words with care and the world is your oyster. You are ready to make some important image changes now and are in the mood for changes. It’s time to be in charge of the journey.

Aquarius
January 21- February 19
Energy is good this week but it’s on the wane as December moves along so if things need your attention give it to them now! Your reputation at work is on the up and up and there are opportunities to shine. It’s a strong week and indeed a strong month overall and one which should please you.

Pisces
February 20 March 20
It’s a time for travel and short journeys but these may be launched upon you suddenly! Be prepared and keep your diary free so that you can make the most of these opportunities. Look after health issues and get plenty of rest as more will be asked of you later this month. Some important decisions are boding.
